Commercial Property Investment and Its Advantages
Traditionally, commercial Property Investment has been the area of interest for real estate property professionals and establishments such as insurance companies, pension funds and big agencies. Since the financial world is getting volatile these days, individuals from every background have started to look for investment opportunities in the commercial property market. In addition to this, the disappointing stock market situation, pension fund issues and financial scandals have made people to opt for commercial property investment and yield a relatively high income.
Investment on commercial property has become the second most popular option after residential property investment for people. Those who are successfully investing in residential properties like flats and houses have started to realize the profit potential of commercial properties. The commercial property such as offices, shops and workspaces has become a source for investors to earn high income and substantial returns. In fact, commercial properties are providing a better investment option than the government securities and equities.
What is commercial property?
When a property is given on lease or rent to a business, it is called commercial property. All the properties including industrial sheds, storage facilities, factory premises, office space, theme parks and theaters come under this category. All these real estate properties are exclusively used for making income.
How commercial property investment helps?
Investors feel confused about whether to invest in commercial real estate property or residential property. Investment in commercial property will give them a lot of advantages over residential property investment. They can be summarized as follows:
Secure and Durable Cashflow – Commercial real estate property normally involves lease contracts for 10 years or more. Again, these property leaseholders are less likely to make any irregularity in payments and even if they get bankrupt, the financer may give the payment for rent in order to prevent the lease from getting cancelled.
Repair and Maintenance:-Commercial property occupants are responsible for the repair and maintenance of the property in contrast to residential leasing, where the responsibility lies on the landlord.
High income yield – Commercial property investment allows investors to generate a high income throughout the lease period. The residential property investors depend on the market value of the house in order to get a good return. This strategy works best when property prices are at peak but fails miserably during a plunge in property value. However, investment in commercial property is found to be performing well during the rise and fall period of property price. It has exceeded the equities and government securities in ensuring growth and stability.
Things to consider before investing in commercial properties
Any person looking for investment opportunities in commercial real estate property should first find out whether he/she can acquire the property without getting any financial aid from a bank or any other financial institution. If he/she can manage to do that without seeking any loan then the individual can go ahead with the property investment plan.
When there is insufficient fund, then the individual should explore different financing options that would help him/her to acquire the commercial real estate property and choose the least expensive one from them.
Those desirous of commercial property investment must verify the land use of the commercial real estate property that he/she plans to purchase. In addition to this, the buyer should also consider whether there is any possibility for a steady increment in rental payments in future. Sometimes, older commercial buildings are declared unsafe or recommended for demolition. The Property Investor must therefore do the necessary inquiry about the property before acquiring it. It includes confirmation of tax payment till the date and much more.

A to Z of Foreclosures: Real Estate Worth Millions Acquired with $101 $17.37 Think twice about purchasing real estate if you cannot sell it for a much higher price the same day of the purchase. I realize that this is a controversial statement, but in A to Z of Foreclosures: Real Estate Worth Millions Acquired with $101, I explain the logic behind it, and how it applies to people who have very little money and equally little knowledge about real estate, as well as to people who are well-off financially and experienced in the buying and selling of property. I have tried to be as comprehensive as possible, discussing the processes and procedures of foreclosure, the reasons that borrowers default, methods for making real estate investments recession-proof, the condition of title, the need to study the condition of the property and the neighborhood in which it is located and the economy of the surrounding area—and much more. This is not just theory. I have illustrated my points with numerous examples from my own experience, which consists of 25 years in real estate. |

Anna $45 As the wife of a frequently absent slaveholder and public figure, Anna Matilda Page King (1798-1859) was the de facto head of their Sea Island plantation. This volume collects more than 150 letters to her husband, children, parents, and others. Conveying the substance of everyday life as they chronicle King’s ongoing struggles to put food on the table, nurse her “family black and white,” and keep faith with a disappointing husband, the letters offer an absorbing firsthand account of antebellum coastal Georgia life.Anna Matilda Page was reared with the expectation that she would marry a planter, have children, and tend to her family’s domestic affairs. Untypically, she was also schooled by her father in all aspects of plantation management, from seed cultivation to building construction. That grounding would serve her well. By 1842 her husband’s properties were seized, owing to debts amassed from crop failures, economic downturns, and extensive investments in land, enslaved workers, and the development of the nearby port town of Brunswick. Anna and her family were sustained, however, by Retreat, the St. Simons Island property left to her in trust by her father. With the labor of fifty bondpeople and “their increase” she was to strive, with little aid from her husband, to keep the plantation solvent.A valuable record of King’s many roles, from accountant to mother, from doctor to horticulturist, the letters also reveal much about her relationship with, and attitudes toward, her enslaved workers. Historians have yet to fully understand the lives of plantation mistresses left on their own by husbands pursuing political and other professional careers. Anna Matilda Page King’s letters give us insight into one such woman who reluctantly entered, but nonetheless excelled in, the male domains of business and agriculture. |

Bernard M. Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend $17.99 Bernard Baruch He was a self-made millionaire and legendary stock trader, a brilliant investor and savvy venture capitalist. He was Bernard M. Baruch, the most famous and admired figure ever to have conquered Wall Street. And when one of the nation’s foremost financial writers took on the challenge of capturing Baruch’s genius, the result was destined to become a classic: a sophisticated, superbly written biography exploring Baruch’s extraordinary career as never before. Now, this stunning republication of James Grant’s critically acclaimed Bernard Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend celebrates both the Wall Street wizard and the gifted writer who revealed the man behind the myth. A man of immense charm, who also knew the value of courting the press, Bernard Baruch enjoyed a larger-than-life reputation that rivaled his estimated fortune. Celebrated as "Adviser to Presidents" and "The Park Bench Statesman," he is, perhaps, best remembered as "The Man Who Sold Out Before the Crash" (a feat of economic foresight that, alas, turned out not to be true; for, while his trading expertise enabled him to salvage most of his investments, Baruch did not sell out on the eve of the 1929 Crash). Yet, as detailed in this fascinating portrait, Baruch’s real life was, in actuality, far more intriguing than the myriad stories that would come to be taken as fact. He could appear quite contradictory, changing his views as easily as he bought and sold securities. For instance, why would so shrewd an investor as Bernard Baruch prove reluctant to develop a property like Texasgulf, Inc., after helping to finance it? It was a decision that cost him an opportunity to make as much money as his adoring public always imagined him to have. Bernard Baruch made his money in the days of free and untaxed markets. As a governor of the New York Stock Exchange, he resisted the Progressive Era demand for government regulation of trading. However, as |

China and the WTO: Accession, Policy Reform, and Poverty Reduction Strategies $25 China’s accession to the WTO requires a great many specific policy reforms. However, if the best results are to be obtained, it is important that these reforms be implemented as part of a consistent development program, rather than simply by treating them as a recipe. To do this, policy makers must understand the range and nature of the policy changes required by accession, their implications for the economy, and the availability and effects of supporting policies.’China and the WTO’ analyzes the nature of the reforms involved in China’s accession to the WTO, assesses their implications for the world economy, and examines the implications for individual households, particularly the poor. Its key objective is to provide the information that will allow policy makers to implement WTO commitments and formulate supporting policies to contribute strongly to economic development and poverty reduction. Individual chapters by leading scholars analyze the nature of the reforms in key areas, such as agriculture, services, intellectual property and safeguards and anti-dumping. These chapters form the building blocks for later chapters which analyze the implications of reform for the economy. The book also includes a series of studies that assess the implications for households, taking into account the social safety net policies applying in China, and the impacts of complementary policies in areas such as labor market reform and investments in human capital.Of interest to policymakers, academe and students studying international trade issues and to practitioners in the area of trade and development, ‘China and the WTO’ is a valuable addition to the wealth of information provided by the World Bank Trade and Development Series. |

Dense urbanism at the old edge: Conflict and reconciliation of streets and buildings. $69 In the last few decades, new centers have emerged at the edges of traditional cities and pre-World War II suburbs. As these evolve, do they converge towards the urban forms of traditional cities? This question is explored based on a study of urban areas in the Atlanta Metropolitan Region. Atlanta Downtown, Decatur and Marietta, are compared to the new centers in Buckhead, Cumberland and Perimeter. The evolution of the street network of Buckhead is examined in detail. The morphological history of a particular urban block in Buckhead—the Tower Place block—is documented. Morphological analysis, focusing on street patterns, block shapes and sizes, property boundaries and building footprints, is complemented by Space Syntax, focusing on the structure of street networks and connectivity. It is shown that new urban centers tend to grow on very large blocks accessed through major transportation infrastructure, but situated in otherwise sparse and fragmentary street environments. As these centers grow and as the density of land use increases, a secondary private road system is created, to take advantage of development potential and provide access to major building investments. The effective fragmentation of the large blocks suggests a pattern of metric convergence towards an optimum block size. In traditional cities, however, the street network is stable over time and acts as the framework for changes in architecture and land use. In the new centers, the secondary road system serves to access particular private investments without regard to the creation of a public framework of connections. From a syntactic point of view, the new centers are spatially unintelligible, thus substantially diverging from traditional cities, even as they accommodate dense mixed use developments. The thesis points to the need of developing and using subdivision regulations and zoning classifications in order to better regulate the spatial structure of new urban centers in the future. |

Fans, Bloggers, and Gamers: Exploring Participatory Culture $5.96 Henry Jenkins at Authors@Google (video)Henry Jenkins“s pioneering work in the early 1990s promoted the idea that fans are among the most active, creative, critically engaged, and socially connected consumers of popular culture and that they represent the vanguard of a new relationship with mass media. Though marginal and largely invisible to the general public at the time, today, media producers and advertisers, not to mention researchers and fans, take for granted the idea that the success of a media franchise depends on fan investments and participation.Bringing together the highlights of a decade and a half of groundbreaking research into the cultural life of media consumers, Fans, Bloggers, and Gamers takes readers from Jenkins’s progressive early work defending fan culture against those who would marginalize or stigmatize it, through to his more recent work, combating moral panic and defending Goths and gamers in the wake of the Columbine shootings. Starting with an interview on the current state of fan studies, this volume maps the core theoretical and methodological issues in Fan Studies. It goes on to chart the growth of participatory culture on the web, take up blogging as perhaps the most powerful illustration of how consumer participation impacts mainstream media, and debate the public policy implications surrounding participation and intellectual property. |

Happy about Apartment Management: 30 Years of Expert Tips and Advice on Multifamily Property Management $19.95 REAL ESTATE can be a smart, lucrative investment, because it shelters property appreciation from taxes while allowing owners to deduct interest and depreciation. In addition, unlike financial investments, tax-deferred exchanges are common real estate trans-actions. However, many investors ignore real estate because it requires daily management. Still others invest in real estate and attempt to manage their properties themselves to save on management fees. Most of us have seen infomercials about achieving financial independence by investing in real estate. During my years in property management, I have seen many people build wealth by investing in real estate. I have also seen time forgive some very poor real-estate investments, because fortunately, most bad real estate decisions are forgiven as property values appreciate. So, from my perspective, the key attribute to successful real estate investing is longevity-surviving the period between purchase and sale, while the property works to pay its way.During the appreciation years, many real estate investors realize how poorly prepared they are to manage property. They experience the enormous stress from evictions because they have not developed appropriate credit-screening techniques that identify potential deadbeats. They are sued for discrimination because they do not understand fair housing regulations. They fall victim to downward economic spirals because they do not understand the relationship between curb appeal, occupancy rates, and rent. Worst of all, they often don’t realize that their properties are under-performing by thousands of dollars each month.Westlake Realty Group, has successfully managed real estate for over 30 years. They’ve dealt with a number of issues discussed above and can help you avoid them. You’ll find this book a helpful and informative introduction to the fundamentals-and complexities-of property management. |

Intellectual Property Protection, Direct Investment, and Technology Transfer: Germany, Japan, and the United States $20 In IFC Discussion Paper 19, the author found that the strength or weakness of a country’s system of intellectual property protection seems to have substantial effect, particularly in high-technology industries, on the kinds of technology transferred by many U.S. firms to that country. Also, this factor seems to influence the composition and extent of U.S. direct investment there, although the size of the effects seem to differ from industry to industry. The present paper extends these results in two ways. First, the survey findings are expanded to include Japanese and German firms, which, of course, are responsible for massive direct investments in developing countries. Second, an econometric model is constructed to estimate the effects of the strength or weakness of intellectual property protection in a developing country on the amount of U.S. direct investment there. The findings indicate that, in relatively high-technology industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, machinery, and electrical equipment, a country’s system of intellectual property protection often has a significant effect on the amount and kinds of technology transfer and direct investment to that country by Japanese and German, as well as U.S. firms. Also, when a variety of relevant factors are held constant in an econometric model, the effects of such protection on U.S. foreign direct investment are substantial and statistically significant. |

International Succession $362.5 Increasing numbers of people have connections with one country, but live and work in another, frequently owning property or investments in several countries. As such, international aspects arise in an increasing number of estates. Different countries may have separate arrangements for ownership, taxation, and succession. International Succession equips practitioners with the information necessary to navigate problems involving these different systems. Although lawyers would often advise only on the law of the jurisdictions in which they are based, seeking advice from lawyers in other countries, this book will save the practitioner the time – and expense – of ascertaining the basics concerning the inheritance systems in different countries, offering clear and easy to use information on the laws of inheritance and succession. Each country’s report is based on responses to a comprehensive questionnaire that considers the practical issues arising from the jurisdiction’s individual laws, making it easy for users to make specific comparisons between the laws of one country and another. The book covers over fifty countries with entries written by experts from each country, making it an invaluable resource for the busy practitioner.This title is an improved and expanded version of International Succession, edited by Louis Garb and published by Kluwer Law International, 2004. This edition, published in hardback form, will also be supplemented annually in between editions to update the individual country entries. |

Make Money in Real Estate Tax Liens: How To Guarantee Your Return Up To 50% $36.95 Real estate tax liens are among the most profitable and safest investments in the world. Yet surprisingly few people know about them. Affordable enough for small investors and available in one form or another in almost every state, tax liens are a great way to invest for retirement, college tuition, or any other need you might have. In Make Money in Real Estate Tax Liens, the husband-and-wife real estate team of Bill and Chantal Carey make this powerful investment vehicle available to everyone with smart advice and step-by-step planning.Though the specifics often vary from state to state, tax liens essentially work the same way everywhere. Issued by federal, state, or local tax authorities, a lien is placed against the title of a property when the owner fails to pay taxes. The lien prevents the owner from selling the property until the debt is paid. Here’s where you come in. By purchasing the tax lien certificate—essentially paying off the owner’s tax bill—you’re entitled to repayment, plus considerable interest. In the event the property owner fails to repay you, the property becomes yours, even if it’s worth significantly more than the cost of the lien certificate! Either way, you profit greatly without taking on any significant risk.As far as investments go, it’s practically a no-brainer. So it’s no wonder real estate tax lien certificates are commonly found in the investment portfolios of major banks, brokerage firms, and institutional investors. With continued low interest rates and a dicey stock market, tax liens are among the most reliable and profitable investment vehicles around.Inside, you’ll learn how, when, and where you can buy liens; how to assign tax lien certificates to other investors at a big profit; how to foreclose on a property; how to redeem your tax lien certificates; and much more. Plus, the Careys provide a listing of tax lien rules by state and appendices with helpful charts, contracts, and other documents. Make Money |

And so, you think of selling it or renting it out to obtain much-needed money or to get your initial investment back. Timeshares can be very worthwhile investments.

Performance of Property Unit Trusts and Property Loan Stocks $64.99 The book compares the performance of Property Investment Trusts and Property Loan Stock companies which have similar investment instruments but have different restrictions on borrowing. This book is highly relevant in understanding the properties of risk versus return when you considering different debt structures of Property Investments Trusts. The book also applied Value at Risks concepts in the analysis of the data. The study population in the book was based on the Property Unit Trusts and Property Loan Stock companies listed on the JSE Securities Exchange over the period 1990 to 2004. The returns were measured and both nominal and risk-adjusted returns (using Sharpe measure) were subjected to the NCSS statistical program analysis to determine whether there were significant differences in the returns. The Value at Risk analysis clearly indicates that Property Unit Trusts, with low gearing, have better risk-sharing characteristics than Property Loan Stock companies with no restrictions on gearing. |

Pharmaceutical Patents And Medical Supplies For Epidemical Diseases $93.9 Diploma Thesis aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Wirtschaft – Volkswirtschaftslehre, Note: 1.0 (A), Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen (Wiwi Faculty), 98 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Abstract: The last century has been characterized by great advancements of pharmaceuticals and a worldwide rise of life expectancy. Improvements in medical research have yielded significant progress in treating diseases that only recently were deemed incurable. This is most obvious in the case of HIV/AIDS where considerable public and private investments have converted this killer into a manageable chronic disorder for many in the developed world. However, treatment is out of reach for almost 90 percent of the millions of infected people in the developing world. Tragically, AIDS is not the only pandemic threatening the developing world. Malaria and Tuberculosis are only the most prominent of a large number of epidemical diseases affecting the world’s poor. Overall, about ten million people die through infectious diseases each year, more than 90 percent of whom in the developing world. These people do not receive treatment for their diseases – either because they cannot afford treatment or because treatment for their diseases does not exist.The following paper discusses these issues form an economic and institutional perspective, focusing on the most crucial aspects of pharmaceuticals in the developing world: the development of new pharmaceutical innovations and access to these products for the poor. In order to put the discussion into perspective, chapter 1 discusses the current situation of public health in LDCs and its problematic economic and social consequences. The situation is then confronted with the current state of intellectual property rights in international law. Chapter 3 introduces a discussion of the functioning and the theoretical justification of patents and their relation to the economics of pharmaceuticals. It |

Price Behavior $1.99 In this excerpt from his acclaimed book Taming The Lion, highly successful trader, investor and former hedge fund manager, Richard Farleigh, reveals some of the secret investment strategies that he developed to succeed in the markets:”I am able to show that trends have operated across nearly all markets for a long, long time. These price trends are a gift! A market that has moved higher is more likely to continue moving higher than to suddenly reverse. The equivalent applies for a falling market. Although trends are well known in the markets, they are not used very well. However this bias can be used to make money; for years I have experienced a lot of success using simple systems which use nothing but trends, and trends can help decide the best way to time investments. There are solid reasons why trends exist and will persist in the future. Market information spreads gradually, and the reaction is delayed by inertia and scepticism. Rising prices can actually lead to more, rather than less, buying in the market. Economic cycles also help prices move in trends. So despite the common belief, markets do not usually over-react.”Praise for Farleigh’s acclaimed book, Taming the Lion:”Anyone who was able to retire at the age of 34, move to Monte Carlo and become a private investor must have made some smart investment decisions. Richard Farleigh did just that and he’s sharing his secrets in this book.” Money Magazine”Taming the Lion is a book about profiting from big themes. From humble beginnings in Australia, Farleigh made a fortune following powerful trends, the most effective and least stressful route to investment success. He knows how to write too.” Telegraph”Overall I feel there is so much information in this book, it is probably one I will keep re-reading as I make investment decisions. I especially like the way it has reminded me that there are other asset classes to invest in other than shares and property and yet the same |

Private Mortgage Investing: How to Earn 12% or More on Your Savings, Investments, Ira Accounts, and Personal Equity – A Complete Resource Guide with 100s of Hints, Tips, and Secrets from Experts Who Do It Every Day $29.95 In recent years, stock market investing has been proven unstable and not very rewarding. In fact, many people have seen their retirement and personal holding accounts dwindle. This new book provides an alternate to investors. It provides detailed information on how to put money to work in a relatively safe private mortgage investment with a high return of 12 to 15 percent (or more) in most cases. Private mortgages have grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry. This market allows investors to earn substantially higher yields—while offering the security of real property to back the loan. Private mortgages have become an important fixed income vehicle for many investors with their personal funds, equity, and self-directed IRA accounts. Private mortgage investing isn’t for the get-rich-quick type of person. However, you can comfortably double your money every 4 to 6 years. For example, should you invest in your self-directed IRA and re-invest as notes pay off? $100,000 at 12 percent grows to over $200,000 in six years, to $500,000 in 13 years and to over $1 million in 19 years. Private mortgage loans are backed by real property. Generally, you would not lend more than 55 percent on the value of the property, thus the investment is again relatively safe. Instead of concentrating on the borrower’s credit history, private mortgage lenders concentrate their investment decisions on the real property itself. However, like any business or investment, there are a lot of details to learn, and you do not need to learn them on your own. Learning them on your own can be costly. In this economic environment of very low interest rates, you can still earn high yields with virtually little or no risk to your investment. |

Property Securities $0.99 Learn about Property Securities with iMinds Money’s insightful fast knowledge series. Property securities are interests in property trusts that are listed on the stock exchange. These listed property trusts are known globally as Real Estate Investment Funds, or REITs. They hold portfolios of property assets that consist of large properties that, due to their size and value, could not be bought by average private investors. REITs break these large investments up into smaller units that can be purchased by individuals, investment institutions and managed funds. The trust manages the properties and investment direction and distributes rental income to the investors. Unit holders trade on the stock market where the value of the unit is determined by demand and supply. The economies-of-scale realised by large trusts, the expertise required for successful non-residential investment and the significant funding required to diversify in this type of property result in REITs maintaining a strong dominance in the commercial property market.Created in 1960 by the U.S. Congress, REITs were originally designed to provide access for all income levels to diversified, professionally managed real estate previously reserved for large real estate organisations. While initially showing slow growth, the industry grew dramatically from the early 1990. This was sparked by demand for liquidity from institutional investors recovering from the 1990 property bubble, who traditionally held direct property investments. Since then, REITS have become a mature, sophisticated, highly successful indirect property investment vehicle. Total assets of the REIT industry worldwide increased from $16 billion to $568 billion from 1992 to 2008. This growth came particularly from the US, Australia, France and the UK who account for 41%, 12%, 11% and 6.5% of current world REIT assets respectively. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics |

Public Choice Interpretations of American Economic History $149 The chapters of this volume apply the tools of public choice theory to the types of questions which economic historians have traditionally addressed. By adding the insights of public choice economists to the traditional tools used to understand economic actors and institutions, the authors are able to provide fresh insights about many important issues of American history. Each contribution analyzes an episode in American economic history within a public choice framework of rational maximization. Agents or interest groups are interpreted as either responding in predictable ways to economic incentives put in play by government policy or attempting to influence government policy. Public Choice Interpretations of American Economic History includes eight essays that examine: Why states contributed to the national government under the Articles of Confederation. The major nineteenth-century transitions in the source of state revenues away from fees and investments and toward the property tax, and from state to local government funding of infrastructure. Three economic failures from the American West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century: overgrazing of the northern plains, despoliation of the Yellowstone Basin, and low productivity of Indian communal lands. The impact on trusts of state-level anti-trust activities and the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The economic and political determinants of state-level WPA spending by the federal government during the New Deal. Why New Deal agricultural policies under the AAA were politically successful, while industrial policies under the NRA were scrapped. The Interaction between Fed policies and banks’ decisions about membership in the Federal Reserve System in the period 1921-79. The influence of diversity among voters on states’ decisions about how to regulate alcohol consumption in the decades after the end of prohibition. |

Science Business: The Promise, the Reality, and the Future of Biotech $32 The biotech industry constitutes one of the most profound experiments of our time. It is a global-scale effort to take fundamental advances in bio-sciences and convert them into successful businesses that add value to our economy and enhance our health and quality of life. But so far, the grand promise of this industry has not been fulfilled, and there is a general acknowledgment that the sector has failed to perform up to expectations. Why? Gary Pisano, who has spent virtually his entire career studying various aspects of the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, makes a compelling argument that this failure is due to the special character of biotech as a science-based business, and gives a clear-eyed and provocative assessment of deep flaws in the industry resulting from the clash of the distinct realms of science and business. In particular, he identifies three salient characteristics of “drug science” that create unique business challenges: (1) drug science is characterized by profound uncertainty and long time horizons for R&D-so how do you finance investments under these conditions?; (2) drug science knowledge is accumulating at an extremely rapid pace, and builds cumulatively in ways that other technological advances don’t-so how do you learn rapidly enough to keep pace with such advances?; and (3) the drug science revolution actually is made up of a constellation of scientific revolutions-so how do you integrate efforts across a broad spectrum of scientific and technological capabilities? The author then turns to prescription, arguing that the key to fixing the industry lies in funding arrangements and arrangements for monetizing intellectual property. This is truly our mostcontemporary and complex industry, integrally involving biotech firms, investors, universities, established pharmaceutical companies, government regulators, and other players. Pisano argues, compellingly, that the stakes for righting the industry are too high to ignore, with not only |
